waterproof box

im attempting to place two ten inch subs in the back of my truck, and i dont want to have to buy special marine speakers... ne one happen to have some ideas on how to build a box that will protect my subs? or some sort of covering overhang for the boxes? again, help me out yall.

Re: waterproof box

i know its gonna be tough, but i want to put the subs back there because of lack of space in the inside of my single cab truck...no tonneau, no campershell, just bed. why dont u advise it? now, although you wouldnt advise it, do u have ne ideas of how to make it work?

Re: waterproof box

Well without a cut through it would be near impossible to hear it anyway. You would also need to keep the amps somewhere, then the speakers would be exposed to extreme temperatures and humidity. Just put one inside the cab

Re: waterproof box

i dont want to put them in the cab...that's where the amps will be though... with my windows down, two subs in the bed of my truck will be plenty easy to hear... its either i find awaterproof idea, or i take them out when it looks rainy... i dont have room in my cab for them...

Re: waterproof box

Well it really depends on how much money you are willing to spend. I have seen a truck that has had some sheet metal work done that made a half cover in the bed. Almost like a tool box. The individual got a sliding rear glass, and built a box inside the new sheet metal. He had it painted to match the truck and had 2 18's in there. Granted that is not cheap, but it kept the weather out and also kept people from stealing it.

To answer the question about hearing the sound when you are in your truck, I do not think you will be happy with the limited sound you will receive with the box in the bed and your windows down. I know you are limited on space in a truck, but I have made and seen some good ideas from individuals on this forum. If it is a full size truck you can put 2 12's, or 3 tens in the cab behind the seats. I know you keep saying and saying you want them outside. IT IS NOT WORTH THE MONEY and TIME.
